Courtesy of NBC News:EXCLUSIVE: @realDonaldTrump doc says he picked up Trump's language in health letter & 'interpreted it into my own.' pic.twitter.com/wb3pMPmO2C— NBC Nightly News (@NBCNightlyNews) August 26, 2016
In his letter, Bornstein said there were no "significant medical problems" in Trump's history and that a recent examination "showed only positive results."
"If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency," Bornstein wrote.
Asked how he could justify the hyperbole, Bornstein said, "I like that sentence to be quite honest with you and all the rest of them are either sick or dead."
He went on to say that the Oval Office has been occupied by presidents with dementia or tumors or even men who were "paranoid" or "psychotic."
Bornstein said that after he was asked to write the letter, he thought about what he would say all day but did not type it out until the last minute as a black car sent by Trump waited to collect it. He said he didn't even proofread it.
The doctor said he would not normally use such over-the-top language in a letter for a patient but he made an exception for Trump — who just two weeks before had tweeted that the doctor's assessment would show "perfection."
As I have said before I have made the decision NOT to be surprised by anything we see or hear during this campaign season, but come on!
THIS is Trump's doctor?
The guy is supposedly a billionaire and yet he drops his pants for the living embodiment of Johnny Carson's fake physician Mandrake Curvy?
He literally looks like the guy who gives free prostate exams from the back of his van.
I am pretty sure we can already assume this will be Trump's science adviser.
So far down the rabbit hole we are my friends.
So far down the rabbit hole indeed, Gryph. I saw the following on my local news this morning concerning the governor of Maine:

ReplyDeleteBest comment of the day!
It would be if the correct word were used - PROSTATE.
Delete10:08AM -- Maybe. Think about that other word.
DeleteEvery day it becomes more and more apparent, Trump doesn't want to be POTUS.
ReplyDeleteNow we know who served as inspiration for Dr. Brakish Okun (Brent Spiner) in "Independence Day".

Hey, that's who I thought of when I saw him on tv!! Lol.
DeleteTrump's medical letter kind of reminds me of the one Palin submitted concerning her med history.
ReplyDeletePat Padrnos
I could believe this idiot is tRump's doctor. "Most of them are either sick or dead"?! Cutesy line, Mr. Bornstein. (Remind me, which Cracker Jack box did you get your medical degree from?) But the letter says healthiest individual ever elected to the Presidency. They weren't sick or dead when they were elected, you fuckwit.
DeleteThe guy with the hair is his hairdo advisor.
ReplyDeleteMedical note: for a prostate exam, the patient is generally neither prostrate nor supine, but lying on his side.
ReplyDeleteNot always true; every doctor who's ever done mine has done it with me standing, bent over.
DeleteTrump only picks the best people with everything in his life. They are great. This team will make America great. Trump, please just be Trump.
ReplyDeleteExactly ... that is why Trump will pick Sarah as his Secretary of State and Ted Nugent as Secretary of Defense.
DeleteA gastroenterologist? How appropriate since Trump is a gigantic asshole and full of sh*t.
ReplyDeleteBest Comment of the Day!!
DeleteI love you.

I would love to know how much Trump paid this guy to claim he actually wrote that letter (which was clearly written by Trump). There is just now way a physician would write like that.
ReplyDeleteNow now if MSNBC says he wrote it well, then...

ReplyDeleteTrump After Dwyane Wade's Cousin Is Shot: 'African Americans Will Vote Trump'
ReplyDeletehttp://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/trump-after-dwayne-wades-cousin-is-shot-african-americans-will-vote-trump
sick human being
I'm so confused about why he keeps rigging the election against himself.
DeleteI admit that I've never heard of Dwyane Wade before today as I'm not a basketball fan but this is very tragic and so insensitive of Trump to tweet out something as self aggrandizing as this. Imagine what he would say if a tragedy such as Sandy Hook happened shortly before the election. There is really something wrong with Trump. I expect that in the future there will be college political science classes devoted to his disastrous candidacy.
Delete11:33 could he ever top Sara's disgusting comment about going out to buy a gun to celebrate her 2nd ammendment rights?
DeleteMany-most of the gang guns in Chicago are bought legally just over the border in Pence's state of Indiana, often at completely unregulated gun shows. Or, the initial contact is made at a gun show, and then the transaction takes place elsewhere. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/01/29/us/where-50000-guns-in-chicago-came-from.html?_r=0.
Delete"who gives free prostrate exams"
ReplyDelete-------------------
Prostate. Prostate, prostate, prostate.
Unless he gives exams while lying flat on his face.
Or his patients are lying flat on their faces...Melania?
DeleteI think the most humorous part of this is that I was working out while I was reading the comments and it took me several times to recognize that people were telling me that I spelled the word incorrectly.
DeleteMy bad.
If Hillary submitted that laughable letter from her doctor, the msm would be tearing her apart. They would have found her doctor much sooner than they found tRump's also, too. Here is a thought, the doctor signed under duress. He had been a "client" of Maleria's when she was an escort, and his wife is unaware. Blackmail works!!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking he was more worried about getting knee-capped again by a yam in a limo.

All the other presidents are sick or dead. Well, Jimmy Carter and George Bush Sr. are quite elderly, and any medical issues they have happened long after being pres. And, yeah, eventually they will die. Death is what happens to humans at a certain point. Oh, and as far as I know, W's doing just fine.
ReplyDeleteAnd then he made that comment about Trump's mental health being so good? Like he has any kind of expertise!
And so far, Jimmy Carter, having had cancer in his 90s is doing remarkably well. He has only in recent years slowed down in his house building efforts for Habitat for Humanity.
DeleteBoth Bushes seem to be in decent health for men of their ages. Certainly Bill Clinton has been far more proactive in pursuing better health than Donald Trump, and they are roughly the same age.
Reagan enjoyed outdoor physical activities well into his later years.
That letter was written by Trump and signed by an apparently sleazy and ethically-challenged celebrity-chasing doctor who I wouldn't trust to trim a hangnail.
I agree with you regarding the doctor's expertise in judging mental health. He has none, regardless of his patient always conveniently having his head up his ass.
Pappy Bush got at least a drcade, maybe TWO drcades out of human growth hormone injections. He had a Dr Feelgood/lookgood/bewell give the shots to him. Lots of rich old people do this.
DeleteW is psychotic.
Bush Sr is in a wheel chair and does not look well.
DeleteTrump is a sick bastard, an opportunist and a vulture. You would think deleting this sick tweet would be enough, but instead all Trump sees wrong is the incorrect spelling.
ReplyDeleteUnfit to be around humanity.

ReplyDeleteThis feeds right into the theory that dumpsterfire is trying to build up himself not only as the post-election faux news but ALSO the post-election equivalent of the RNC. Destroy the RNC and where do people go? Trump (insert con here). He wants it all. Of course he will fail and we will laugh, eventually, but it could be a couple of rough years of alt-right in our faces and causing trouble.
OT, but related to illiterate people who can't write well, one of whom reads this blog:
ReplyDeleteA blonde haired child is called a "towhead". It is not "toehead". Your IG account really shows how stupid you are.
Maybe it was short for potatoehead,
DeleteDamn, she is stupid!
Delete#toehead
ROFL
I don't even know who this is directed to, but c'mon people, typos happen.
DeleteIt offends me that Trump and his "doctor" treated the medical report as some sort of joke.
ReplyDeleteIt's typical of how he's running the whole campaign and how he's lived his whole life. He has nothing but contempt for anyone who isn't rich and powerful.
DeleteHe has to pretend to like his supporters in order to get their votes, but he feels that just telling them that he's a successful businessman, fabulously wealthy, brilliant, and healthy should be more than enough.
We're not worthy of seeing his tax returns or a real medical evaluation and we probably wouldn't understand them anyway because we're not smart enough. Oh wait, his son already tried that excuse.
Holy Moley, is this guy a real licensed physician?
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I don't believe a word regarding Trump's health. If anything, Trump slipped him some cash with a note to copy in his own hand on letterhead.
Why is a "perfectly healthy" person taking statins, which cause liver damage, in addition to aspirin?
DeleteAccording to the law of statistics, somewhere out there, there must be "the worst doctor, ever" and some schmuck found him, paid him by the word to copy a last minute assessment without even giving him a cursory physical exam.
ReplyDeleteThink about that next time you have to show id to get an otc allergy medication.
I'm pretty sure that Trump's doc just signed a blank piece of letterhead. It's so, so... so obvious.
ReplyDeleteRemember Michael Richards' fraudulent "Dr Van Nostrand" on Seinfeld? Seems very professional compared to this clown.
